Coloring Time

Remember those stamped images I shared with you during my last post? Well, I am happy to say my coloring little heart has already been hard at work cr8'ing them into "life."

Take a look...

I jumped right into it with this adorable crab from Paper Smooches! I simply couldn't resist & since I stamped him more than once, I decided to try a few cr8've options with my Copic markers. The top image I stuck with blending the colors in a gradient style, while the bottom image I opted for a "dotting" technique which gave it a different "texture" about the image.

Sometimes there is nothing more relaxing & therapeutic than coloring, & I take full advantage of it when I can. It truly helps me unwind from my work day & commute. My relaxation efforts didn't stop with the adorable crab... I was on a roll, so I continued coloring a few more Paper Smooches characters.

Don't you just love those big eyed creatures? It just screams to me "color me, bring me to life!" So I did just that! As I sat to watch some television, from unwinding from the work day I colored these cuties up within one night. It will be great to see them finally make their final destination onto one of my card cr8'ions.
